A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Sienna, I am 19 years old and I am a college student.

I am fairly new at babysitting/caregiving but I am great with kids and would love to help out if needed. I have watched my little cousins before and have helped out friends and family, so I am familiar with the basics like spending time together, reading books, playing with toys, drawing, prepping meals, etc!

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m MaKayla! I’m a patient, reliable sitter with over 3 years of experience working with children of all ages—including toddlers, preschoolers, and kids with special needs. I’ve worked as both a paraprofessional and a behavior technician, so I’m very comfortable supporting all children including those with autism, developmental delays, and big emotions. My background has taught me how to stay calm, flexible, and tuned in to what each child needs.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections with kids and helping families feel supported. There’s something special about creating a safe, fun space where children can be themselves, grow, and feel supported. Whether that’s through sensory play, arts and crafts, pretend play, structured routines, or just being present with them in the moment.

For those in search of help with daily routines, a date night sitter, or someone who understands how to meet kids where they’re at—I’m here to help!

A little bit about me

Hii! My name is Tiaira Crooks and I am a recent graduate from Zion Benton Township High School! I used to be a student teacher at Lake County's Tech Campus program for Early Education and Teaching and it was amazing to watch my student progress during the year. Since I graduated, I've wanted to pursue the passion of teaching elementary! I plan to go to college and majoring in Elementary Education. Children are very lovely to be around and I love having the chance of being in their world along with getting to learn about them! I would love having the opportunity of being the proper role model and strong guidance for children.
